Just a quick blog today.  I am dead tired after playing 18 holes of golf (110 with a chip in on the 10th hole) and then driving 4 hours from Laguna Niguel to Santa Clarita.

The drive was worth it (even if my rear got sore from driving and sitting) because I was able to have an excellent dinner with my friend, Lynne.  And I yakked most of the way up here with various folks on the hands-free, cellular phone.

The title of today's blog refers to the changes in my chemo-related neuropathy.  I have feeling coming back as the Oxylaplatin works its way out of my system...but I also had my first treatment with acupuncture yesterday (designed to mitigate the numbness).  Since yesterday's treatment, I've had significant return of feeling to the bottoms of my toes and to my palms. 

That means there's more of the pins and needles feeling and less of the numbness.  Yahoo!  I have 9 more treatments to go on the acupuncture (suggested by my friend, Katherine).  If this first one is any indication, I should see great results after the treatments are done.

So I'm going to crash now, celebrating one excellent golf shot and the pins and needles in my toes.
